A busy past few days!!

Avery has learned how to tie her shoe!

Sunday, we watched my little sister run the half marathon! My family didn't get there until 8:40 in which she crossed the finish line at like 8:45 or something! But we saw her! Then we went to the memorial before coming home. Wes did pretty well keeping up, taking breaks when he needed. Monday he crashed but will hopefully bounce back quickly!Oops, we let our kids throw money before realizing they weren't supposed to. Here is Zane jumping. He looks like a frog here.

Sunday night we had a CR appreciation dinner for everyone who makes CR possible. The lovely volunteers who pick up prison ladies, the dinner team who spend half of their Friday's preparing food for over 100 people, and the babysitting crew who give our kids a fun Friday night! Here is a pic of us right before the dinner!

Then yesterday and today I decided to be crafty! I made the kids placemats which i'm excited about but before you praise me...if you saw the stitching...you'd take it back! haha Sewing machines hate me! Try try again...

Also these little flower clips!! Yes my addiction to hobby lobby is growing. At least I get it when its half off!

How to for one- .5 yards of material .5 yards of the thinest clear nylon they have. Double wide binding (3 yards is $2.65 or something). I painted with brown acrylic paint and stencil (put towel under because it will blead through a little)then pinned and sewed(zigzag stitch)all around. Corners are hard and mine look bad but oh well! Took about like an hour maybe (cut up into several 10 min breaks I found!)
